There are two forms for creating or copying rulesets and versions: Create RuleSet Version and Save As RuleSet. The ruleset and its versions are maintained in a single ruleset form.
Use this form to:
To open the form, select RuleSet from the SysAdmin category on the Records Explorer, right click, and select Create.
Use the top section of the form to enter the key parts of both rules.

RuleSet Name |
Select an existing ruleset, or enter a Ruleset Name value starting with a letter and containing only letters, numbers, and hyphens. Ruleset names must be unique system-wide. Give your ruleset a name that helps you manage and identify its contents. Start the ruleset name with a letter and use only letters, numbers, and hyphens. Choose names that are short and easy to remember. An initial portion of the name can represent your company and the second portion can represent the application content or purpose. For example, you might use your company stock ticker symbol followed by letters that represent the purpose of the application or its content. Special cases To create a language-specific ruleset name, enter the base ruleset name followed by an underscore and the locale code. For example, enter ALPHA_fr for a French language ruleset to override text elements in the ALPHA ruleset. See Internationalization and localization — Concepts and terms. Rule resolution To avoid circularity, rule resolution does not apply to ruleset rules. Restrictions

Version |
When you enter a new ruleset name, the system enters a default three-part version identifier of 01-01-01. You can modify this value using another three-part identifier. When you select an existing ruleset name, the system increments its highest version by one patch number. Every ruleset normally has at least one version numbered 01-01-01. Create additional versions for developers who make enhancements and fixes to rules in the ruleset.
You can use any increment between numbers. For example, you can create version 01-01-10 without creating 01-01-02. Rule resolution To avoid circularity, rule resolution does not apply to ruleset version rules. A ruleset version is a rule contained in a ruleset. For example, the ruleset version 01-17-04 of RuleSet Alpha is among the other versions rules contained in the ruleset. |

Description |
When you enter or select a ruleset name, the system enters a unique two-part short description comprising the name and the default version. For example, if you enter a ruleset name MyCo, the default description is |

Requires RuleSet and Versions |
If the Application Validation (AV) mode of ruleset validation is not enabled, a new ruleset version must have at least one prerequisite. When you enter a ruleset name, the system enters in this field the highest Pega-ProcessCommander version in the system. If you selected an existing ruleset, the prerequisites for that rule appear. For more information about this field, see Working with the Versions tab. |

Update my current Application to include the new version |
Select this check box if you want to add this ruleset version to the top of the Application Ruleset list in the current application rule. If selected, you must use Quick Create to save the rule. |
|
Create |
Click to create the new ruleset and version rules. When the ruleset form opens, click Save both the rules. Do not click Save in the ruleset version row on the Versions tab. |
| Quick Create |
Click to create or update the ruleset and version rules without opening the ruleset form and manually saving it. The version is added to the Application if you selected Update my current Application to include the new version. |
Use this form to copy a ruleset. The system copies the values in the Security, Category, and History tabs. The version is the one you specify in this form.
Do the following:
You cannot use this form to add a version to a ruleset. To add a version, open the Create Ruleset Version form as described above, select an existing ruleset, and update the Version field. Alternatively, open the Versions tab on the ruleset form, add a row in the Versions array, and complete the Create Ruleset Version form. See Using the Versions tab.
You create branch rulesets in the Branch area on the Application rule's Definition tab. When branching a ruleset, the non-branch ruleset's Validation mode is used by the branch. See Application form - Completing the Definition tab.
